Best Sheet Pan Fajitas with Steak

This really is the best sheet pan fajitas, and even better it's super quick and easy to make! My favorite part about prepping fajitas is that everyone can eat it with their favorite pairings. I chose to pair the steak, peppers, and onion mix with rice, cauliflower rice, salsa, extra red onions, cilantro, and avocado. I also like getting those wholly guacamole minis as they are easier to grab and go with meals throughout the week. If you need to save even more time you can purchase pre-cut peppers or frozen vegetables, just check the ingredient label to make sure the only ingredients listed include that vegetable. I have also posted this one before using chicken, however I had to do the recipe justice by posting it with steak as it calls for. Both ways are absolutely delicious! This one is a go-to recipe in our house and definitely one to save!

Best Sheet Pan Fajitas with Steak 
Ingredients:
  • 3 large bell peppers preferably 1 red, 1 orange, 1 yellow, seeded and sliced into 1/2" strips
  • 1 large red onion halved and sliced into 1/4" pieces
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil
  • 2-3 cloves garlic minced or pressed
  • 3 teaspoons chili powder
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 lb. thinly sliced flank steak or “fajita” steak
  • lettuce cups or tortillas
Directions:
  1. Prepare all ingredients before cooking: slice peppers, slice steak, peel and seed avocados, chop garlic, etc.
  2. Preheat your broiler with oven racks in thirds; place baking sheet on top rack.
  3. In a small bowl, stir together avocado oil, garlic, seasonings, and salt. 
  4. Put peppers and onions in a large bowl and pour half of garlic-seasoning mixture over; toss well to coat. 
  5. Carefully but quickly remove baking pan and scatter peppers and onions over. 
  6. Return to oven and cook for 7 minutes, or until beginning to soften and brown.
  7. Place sliced steak in the large bowl and pour remaining garlic-seasoning over; toss well to coat.
  8. After peppers and onions are cooked, quickly but carefully remove baking pan from oven and use a spatula to make a space between peppers. Place steak in a single layer, being careful not to crowd if possible. 
  9. Return to oven and cook 4 minutes or until uniformly brown on top and medium rare. Steak will likely show medium-rare temperature on underside; it will not show on top.
  10. Remove pan from oven and serve in tortillas or lettuce cups with guacamole, more fresh salsa, and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and/or red onion, if desired.

Notes:
You can marinate your steak ahead of time if you prefer; this will result in an even more flavorful and tender steak. Simply coat your sliced steak in half the garlic-seasoning mixture and chill; marinate for up to 12 hours. Take out of fridge about 30 minutes before cooking.
